Q&A

What does the garden look like right now during the first part of spring?

Right now, the garden features things that have already been established and nothing new has been planted yet. It includes a dwarf Meyer lemon tree full of blooms, established annuals from last year coming back with a vengeance, and strawberries starting to set fruit.

How are the annuals from last year doing?

The annuals from last year are coming back very strong and are quite vigorous. For example, the supertunia Vista bubblegum planted in a five-gallon pot two years ago has gone completely nuts with growth.

What care is needed for a dwarf Meyer lemon tree?

The dwarf Meyer lemon may need a slight trim from the bottom to improve airflow, and fertilizing once a year with citrus tone is recommended. This should help it produce a lot of fruit in the summer and into the next season.

How do you care for the strawberries in the pot?

The strawberries need to be fertilized in spring with Berry Tone, the old debris should be cleared out, and this will help give them the airflow they need to grow and bear fruit.

What is unique about the David Austin Benjamin Britten Rose in the garden?

The David Austin Benjamin Britten Rose is known for its very light citrus smell, English Rose classification, and a large number of blooms that have a deep magenta or dark pink color. The bees love it and it's full of blooms.

How do you deal with caterpillar pests on plants like the super Bells?

To control the caterpillar pests, such as budworms that eat flower buds, it's recommended to spray the plants once a week with an organic insecticide called BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), which is specific to caterpillars and does not harm beneficial bugs or wildlife.

What are the plans for the raised beds in the garden?

The raised beds will be quite productive with a variety of plantings including a German-style potato, red leaf lettuce, Romaine, radishes, sage, cilantro, and the good-hearted tomato plant.
